Hey Damien,

If it's funny then great.
A car, hammer, nail, snail or an idea are at the same point since there 
is a "end user" or more likely an "end point" which every crime affects.

I have been working on some servers couple years ago and I have seen how 
an admin didn't considered for a sec that the end user will suffer from 
a non planned service outage and will break connections.
For some it might not be such an issue while to the creator of the 
movie, show or a software it can mean that he won't be able to pay his 
phone bill.

I remember that somebody told me that I should not think about the 
movies actors since they do get money.
I do not know how much money are they getting paid but I am sure that in 
a case I would come to the actor neighborhood I will probably won't be 
able to be a guest in any of the actors house just because I have paid 
for their movie or any other reason.

You might consider it a Civil matter but after some actors hanged them 
self or committed suicide or any other crime it should point out that 
these actors have very little to loose in this world.

If you would have seen someone shooting at a driving car, what would the 
Australian law permits or give for the civilized citizen to do about it? 
should he wait for the police? can he save the victim and not get into 
prison?

All The Bests,
